how is it an experiment to restore things to the way they used to be? pretty sure we already know how it works out.
- Comment on Microsoft is quietly installing the Copilot app on Windows PCs 1 month ago:
They don’t need an AI to spy, they literally have full control of the OS. It’s just your regular everyday vertically integrated forced advertising garbage.

Should be stepping into jail cell.
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 month ago:
fake is just an easy way to communicate the idea without going into a bunch of complex color terminology. extra-spectral is a name for them if you really want to split hairs about it.
- Comment on amazing!!! 1 month ago:
There are humans with a fourth color receptor in their eyes who have a wider color range than your average person.. Women only though, sorry boys.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
that is an extremely debatable, incredibly hot take. i wasn’t a fan of cloud and surface spam but lets not pretend that 5e’s combat is universally loved, either. larian made it work pretty well by sanding off some edges here and there but it’s, at best, a sidegrade.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
Yeah I agree. They deserve a lot of credit for elevating D&D rather than relying on it to elevate the game. The result is grater than the sum of its parts; both D&D and Larian reached a wider audience through the collaboration.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
Anyone who played Larian’s previous titles can tell you the only thing DnD brought to the table was a popular license.

Continuing to be amazed that the Pinkertons both still exist and are still up to their old tricks. Nothing is ever learned.

- Comment on bioluminescence 1 month ago:
UV tattoo ink is one of the only inks that have been approved by the FDA (for animal use). They’ve been used for a long time in livestock. Not that that should make you comfortable with sticking into your skin or anything, but it’s probably not quite the same as powdering your face with radium.
While we’re on the subject of historically misguided applications of radioactive materials: ever heard of uranium glass? People get real weird around spicy rocks.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 story missions future uncertain after January layoffs (according to ex-devs) 1 month ago:
they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall
- Comment on bioluminescence 1 month ago:
There are UV reactive tattoo inks. Not exactly the same but pretty close, and probably safer than trying to manipulate your genes.
- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 1 month ago:
wouldnt it make more sense to do a trial that tests their supposed advantages over purpose built robots rather than one which decidedly does not
- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 1 month ago:
Yeah but the article says the only thing these ones are gonna do is deliver parts which is probably overkill for the likely expense for the kind of sophistication necessary to imitate even a fraction of a human worker’s versatility.
- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 1 month ago:
I cannot conceive of a task where a humanoid robot would be better suited than just a robot built for the task without trying to mimic a human form.

gambling repeatedly with other people’s money
so… a stock broker?
- Comment on Israel broke international law with tank shelling that killed journalist, UN finds 2 months ago:
Yes he’s going to send more aid to Israel, so they can kill more journalists.
- Comment on AI image-generator Midjourney blocks images of Biden and Trump as election looms 2 months ago:
I mean it’s still an AI, it’s not going to be able to perfectly block everything because they’re statistical, not deterministic. I’ve had Bing block generated images from displaying because they probably got classified as a banned subject, so it’s to exactly unprecedented.
- Comment on AI image-generator Midjourney blocks images of Biden and Trump as election looms 2 months ago:
Image generation models are also classification models.
- Comment on UNRWA commissioner says truck with humanitarian aid for Gaza blocked by israel because it contained medical scissors 2 months ago:
Oh yeah I fully understand Israel is a nazi state, no question. I’m not surprised at all that it’s going on. Just thinking about how the US would react if Putin tried to dictate what aid was allowed to enter Ukraine, for example. The contrast is striking.
- Comment on UNRWA commissioner says truck with humanitarian aid for Gaza blocked by israel because it contained medical scissors 2 months ago:
How fucking absurd is it that the kind of aid that gets allowed in is dictated by the people making that aid a necessity
- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 2 months ago:
unintended consequence is the definition of perverse incentive.

- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 2 months ago:
so it’s essentially a perverse incentive at work.
- Comment on AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt 2 months ago:
A social contract only holds when both sides stand to gain, so if one exists then it’s “you’re going to crawl the site anyway, so if you do it in the optimized manner described in this file we won’t take steps to hinder you.” It’s not, and never has been, a way to block bots from crawling your website content.
- Comment on Elon Musk Bought Twitter to Settle His Jet-Tracking Beef, New Book Claims 2 months ago:
He did more than say legally binding things. He signed a contract. That had a clause in it to prevent him from backing out, because the management at Twitter fully expected him to try and pull that.
